At least 100 bodies found in sewer system under Colombian prison
By Rafael Romo, Senior Latin American Affairs Editor

(CNN)Colombian authorities are investigating the disappearance and dismemberment of at least 100 people whose bodies were allegedly thrown into a sewer system underneath a notorious prison in Bogota.

The investigation is focusing on La Modelo, one of Colombia's largest and most overpopulated prisons. But officials say the practice of dismembering people and tossing their remains into sewers might have also happened at other prisons in cities such as Popayan, Bucaramanga and Barranquilla between 1999 and 2001 and possibly later.

Caterina Heyck Puyana, a special prosecutor in charge of the case, said Wednesday that the Colombian attorney general's office has been investigating what happened at La Modelo for months.

Its not the destination that makes me cringe, but the actual journey getting there.

Hope they were already dead before they were sliced & diced...........................

My imagination says otherwise.

It's kind of suiting though, these people lost their right to be part of the greater community, so they may as well be dropped into the ling drop, so to speak.

Either that or they could join BM, six of one, half a dozen of the other

Well, what's to be suspected of a populace that all wear necklaces with a man nailed to a cross.
